good league that you could have a top-10 recruiting class and still finish 4th in the Big 12 in recruiting.
If we want to talk about best-ever classes, the best class in recent memory was likely the Eric Mika/Nick Emery class. It ranked #20 in the country. Considering this class (2024) is ranked around 10th if Demin has a proper ranking, this is definitely better than that class.
